lisa argen is here with the accuweather forecast. i notice it's been warming up in new orleans and we are getting a little cooler. >> that's right. we will have the new orleans forecast. plenty of 60s there. and for today, yeah, no 70s. at some point we have to turn around and go back to winter, right? >> no! >> okay. the look outside. the roof camera pretty dark. the chinese new year flower fair through sunday. and the 5k mud run in san francisco along with the vietnamese festival. some of the things going on around the bay featuring slightly cooler conditions. here's the higher clouds filtering sun shine we will have later on today. that will bring the numbers down a little bit. and we are looking at low clouds along the coast. an on shore flow. that will bring numbers back to where they should be downtown. right now it's pretty mild, san francisco 48. 50 mountain view, 48 san jose

with 45 in watsonville. we've had fog. some of it has been a problem the past couple days. visibility down to a quarter mike napa. and 3 miles on the coast and half moon bay. so we are looking for mostly cloudy skies. it's a spare the air day today. the patchy fog will lift slowly throughout the morning hours. then we will be left with mild weather for the weekend. tomorrow should be sunnier than today and we look for theer weather to arrive by tuesday or wednesday. certainly the end of the week could feature some rain as well. so we are looking at still very mild air. with that the beach hazard issued by the not weather service. dangerous sneak are he waves are possible today. you want to avoid the slippery rocks and stay away from the water's edge. the sets will continue to build throughout the afternoon. we will look for the higher clouds once again today. our satellite and radar come 'the shows that not only the high clouds, but we are looking

at still kind of a stagnate air mass. high pressure firmly in control and that pushes down on the atmosphere. the particulates get caught near the surface so the air quality not the best today. we need some rain and wind to mix things out. it will be a little wild until we have that because the ridge is still firmly in place, it's strong, and it's allowing for the hazy sunshine to warm us up despite the higher clouds this afternoon from the system from the south. speaking of the south, new orleans, in the 60s. partly cloudy skies and nice weather right on through monday. back home we are looking at more 60s across the coach with low 60s big sur, 49 with a dwindling snowpack in the sierra nevada. temperatures in the southern sierra, 52. up to 75 in los angeles. so certainly warmer and dryer this weekend than they were last weekend.

63 in fremont. look for about average numbers in san francisco. 61 there. 64 in livermore. so certainly mild. but yesterday we had those low 70s along the central coast. today more like low 60s for watsonville. more cloud cover there. that will allow for a little bit of cooling. temperatures not much of a change except it will be a little bit brighter for super^bowl sunday. remember spare the air today and then a slight dip maybe by a couple degrees monday. tuesday partly cloudy as well as wednesday but notice the temperatures back into the 50s at our coast and everyone cools off by the end of the week. a little bit of rain hopefully coming our way. so you know it was the third driest january on record. >> it was. all right. we do need some rain. thanks, lisa. you know, you can watch theos stars sunday, february 24th here on abc7. the my picks feature on our officials oscar apps has information on all the nominees.

>> good morning, thanks for joining us. i'm carolyn tyler in for lease marzullo. >> good morning, everyone. looking at the colors of the niners this morning. we are waking up to higher clouds. even reduced visibility with some fog in some areas this morning. be careful. temperatures are pretty mild, though. we've dropped off into the upper 30s to near 40 in our coolest protected valleys. otherwise we are looking at 50s around san francisco with the cloud cover. it will take some time for the cloud to burn off but we also have the higher clouds making for a mostly to partly cloudy sky today. temperatures cooler relative to yesterday's 70s.
